Background Color - for IE6, IE7

Question

Works in IE8 & Mozilla

select:focus, input:focus,textarea:focus
{
    background:#abd533;
    font-family:verdana;
}

While using IE7, I observed that input field background color not shown, but it appears in IE8 & Mozilla.

Can anyone please let me know what to do with IE7 or IE6 ?

It is a bug in IE7

See
